Well ladies - seeing as the Taste of Kennesaw is going on this weekend, Cottontail Quilts has decided to close. The amount of people and traffic on the downtown event days makes it almost impossible for anyone to get quilting done! LOL So, I am afraid to say, no meeting again.

I do have some great news though - I was contacted by the Region 8 coordinator asking me to do a Quilts of Valor presentation!!

Seems there has been a sister nominate her brother - a Viet Nam veteran. He lives in Cartersville. The sister has asked to be present (she lives out of town) and we will be working out a time and location for the presentation once she is scheduled to come into town!! WHOO HOOO!!!

So...we need a quilt to present to him. I have some military themed fabric that I bought, and thought to design around that - some of it is panels.

If anyone would like to get together, before Octobers meeting, let me know.

Freedom Quilters QOV is a sewing group in the Quilts of Valor Foundation. We are committed to advancing the QOVF mission:

The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover ALL combat service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor. This foundation is not about politics. It's about people.

We meet on the 3rd Wednesday and Saturday of the month from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
